FPL testimony moved up to prepare for Tropical Storm Isaac

Florida Power & Light Co., which is presenting its $690 million rate case to regulators this week, asked Wednesday to move up testimony of four FPL employees.

The utility said the workers play key roles in a storm and need to prepare for Tropical Storm Isaac. Florida is in the cone of error for the storm.

On Thursday, commissioners and others will have an opportunity to ask rebuttal questions of the employees who lead FPL's customer service, power generation, distribution and transmission. Then they will be dismissed for their storm duties.

Most FPL employees have storm duties that may or may not relate to their regular roles at the utility.
